Neophytes to Woo will probably think the director hasn't fallen all that far from Face/Off and Mission: Impossible II; fanboys who've seen Bullet in the Head and The Killer will wonder what the maestro was thinking this time around. Marine Sgt. Joe Enders (Nicolas Cage) fights in WWII's Pacific Theater when he's badly injured and his entire company's wiped out by the evil Japanese. Sent to a hospital--where droning doll-eyed nurse Rita (Frances O'Connor, whose low-key, catatonic style sounds as though it were recorded a few decibels lower) becomes the film's sole "significant" female presence through her sleepily voiceover'd letters to Joe--the good Marine understandably aches for a quick return to some kind of action. He gets his wish in the form of an assignment to "guard" a Native American "codetalker" named Ben Yahzee (a very fine Adam Beach)--the 'Woovian' twist being that the code Ben...

The film is lacklustre and puzzlingly-paced--apologists would call it leisurely, I call it lugubrious--and though the story at its core is indeed compelling and rich for exploration, Sverák's instinct towards sentimentality leads to one too many shots of sad-eyed dogs, exhausted under the weight of their status as beleaguered metaphors for loyalty and friendship. The picture could only have been salvaged by Dark Blue World focusing on the macrocosm of the plight of Czech pilots for which its tale of a doomed love triangle is the microcosm. As it is, Dark Blue World plays a good deal like Gregory Nava's brooding A Time of Destiny: they mutually explore the bonds of friendship forged under war and tested by...

There's a moment early on--when our hero, Clive Candy (Roger Livesey), realizes he's let the love of his life marry his best friend--that clarifies exactly what the picture has on its mind. For the rest of the film, as the kingdom of his memories grows to a size that dwarfs modernity rushing past, Candy finds shades of the lost Edith (Deborah Kerr), his personal Lenore, resurfacing in the faces of young women the world over. The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp understands that as one grows old, an entire village sprouts in the mind, full of beloved businesses and places that have long since disappeared, peopled by old flames and loved ones, dead or just vanished but in any...

Iranian filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf's Kandahar is either a stunningly incompetent film or an amazingly evocative one. Perhaps best described as both, the piece alternates between sledgehammer images and awful didactic exposition. An argument can be made, and a good one, that the plight of Afghani women under the medieval rule of The Taliban deserves to be treated as a medieval passion play, with all the implied attendant allegorical characters (the pilgrim, the fallen child, the doctor, the thief) and mannered execution. Nafas (Nelofer Pazira), an Afghani journalist, fled to Canada but has returned to Kandahar upon learning that her sister, maimed by a landmine, intends to kill herself on the day of a solar eclipse.

Maybe certain moments from Akira Kurosawa's Kagemusha, married to the saturated minimalism of Tarkovsky's Stalker. It's beautiful, in other words. Stunning enough that its self-consciousness is just another approach to centuries-old material, and a comfortable part of the whole. There are two approaches left to Shakespeare, I think: to acknowledge the centuries of intense scholarship around the canon that has uncovered the archetype (mostly Jungian, sometimes Freudian) mooring the tales, or to ignore them. This Macbeth understands that the Scottish Play is splashed red--all passion and portent and looming storms flashing low on the horizon. Every incident is portent. I mumbled along with the "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" speech that I memorized for extra credit in eighth grade and marvelled at how Kurzel rolled it into a greater thematic conversation about the lust between these two people, Macbeth (Michael Fassbender) and his Lady (Marion Cotillard).

He's a child. One of many in a roving platoon of fighters led by red-eyed Commandant (Idris Elba) through a nameless African country, wreaking havoc in a nameless conflict. Cary Fukunaga's adaptation of Nigerian-born Uzondinma Iweala's debut novel is less politics than survey history of the transcendental war film.

As such, the animation and backgrounds are more simplistic, the story is more cartoonish (though the very basic Miyazaki hallmarks of a girl in transition, flight, and gadgetry are already in place) and one-dimensional, and the pace is more relentlessly breakneck than occasionally meditative. Beginning as a heist comedy and continuing as an impenetrable fortress/princess in a tower action adventure film, The Castle of Cagliostro is a light, irreverent slapstick exercise with a healthy share of nifty gadgets and derring-do. Missing is a sense of completion and the deeper examination of themes that one will come to associate with the director's work, but The Castle of Cagliostro stands on its own merits; despite being shackled somewhat by the artistic and thematic requirements of an in-place franchise, the picture reveals the burgeoning promise of a filmmaker who...

Unfortunately, Kurosawa's initial involvement with the picture resulted in his regular cohort Toshiro Mifune turning down the role of Admiral Yamamoto (a role he would play in Jack Smight's 1976 Midway and in 1968's Yamamoto biopic Rengo kantai shirei chôkan: Yamamoto Isoroku), as the two titans of Japanese cinema had lingering bad feelings over their last collaboration, the underseen...

Embedding a secret message into a cover media without attracting any attention, known as steganography, is one of the methods used for hidden communication purposes. One of the cover media that can be used for steganography is speech. In this study, the authors propose a new steganography method in speech signals. In this method, the silence intervals of speech are found and the length (number of samples) of these intervals is changed to hide information. The main feature of our method is robustness to MPEG-1 layer III (MP3) compression. This method can hide information in a speech stream with very low processing time which makes it a real-time steganography method. The hiding capacity of our method is comparable with other MP3 resistance methods and the listening tests show that the degradation in speech quality is not annoying. Additionally, the effect of our method on chaotic features is negligible, so it is difficult to detect our method with chaotic-based steganalysis methods.

Low Utah tobacco use rates are still too high, health experts say
Julio Cortez, AP
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah has the lowest tobacco use rates in the nation — something the Utah Department of Health is very proud of, but also something it keeps a close eye on.
"We do a lot of work with lawmakers that makes it harder for kids to start and easier for adults to quit," said Adam Bramwell, spokesman for the state's Tobacco Prevention and Control Program. Legislation, including tighter regulation and higher taxes, as well as advertising, are the most effective ways to keep cigarette use rates continually low, he said.
In the years since 1998, when a statewide campaign was put into action to reduce smoking rates, Bramwell said Utah's youths have benefited the most. But specific programs have also been implemented to target populations where smoking rates are disparate.
One such program involves the Utah Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health, where a large portion of clients being treated for other addictions or mental illness also smoke.
"There have been major changes to the culture and to a system that has been around for a long time," said Dave Felt, manager of a program called Recovery Plus, an initiative that promotes health and wellness in people with mental illness and/or substance abuse throughout Utah.
He said the goal is to make all treatment facilities in the state tobacco-free.
"If we could successfully implement this, we would be close to impacting 20 percent of the smokers in the state," Felt said, adding that tobacco use often goes hand-in-hand with other substance abuse, and up to 80 percent of people with mental illness also use tobacco.
The division has already seen success treating smoking as an addiction by cutting it out altogether.
At the Promise of Women and Families North and South programs in Utah County, work and classroom breaks have been decreased to less than five minutes, and, instead of calling them "smoke breaks," exercise or relaxation techniques are often encouraged. No smoking is allowed on the premises or at any time that a person is involved in treatment, Felt said.
"We're changing the culture to one that encourages not smoking instead of turning a blind eye to it," he said. Recognizing that smoking tobacco is "a significant addiction" and treating it that way, he said, helps people quit their other dependencies as well.
And the addiction potential of tobacco is huge, said Glen Hanson, director of the Utah Addiction Center, a University of Utah professor of pharmacology and senior adviser for the National Institute on Drug Abuse for the National Institutes of Health. He said the factors of nicotine and tobacco addiction "satisfy all the criteria for a disease" and should be treated as such.
"Tobacco companies did everything they could to derail that way of thinking," Hanson said. "It delayed our response for decades, and, in the process, many people died and suffered a great deal."
As a leading cause of preventable death, disease and disability in Utah, the reduction of tobacco use remains an important public health priority. In addition to contributing to cancer, heart disease and respiratory diseases, tobacco use causes or worsens most chronic diseases and can lead to death, according to the health department. Survey data show that about 200,000 Utahns smoke.
Since the U.S. surgeon general issued its first report on smoking and health 50 years ago in January 1964, the health industry has made strides in the treatment of tobacco use and addiction. A recent essay in the Journal of the American Medical Association estimates that 8 million Americans have avoided premature death as a result of tobacco control efforts implemented as a result of the report.

Evan Vucci, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Brushing aside a White House veto threat, the Republican-controlled House voted by a healthy bipartisan majority Friday to weaken a core component of "Obamacare" and permit the sale of individual health coverage that falls short of requirements in the law.
In all, 39 Democrats broke ranks and supported the legislation, a total that underscored the growing importance of the issue in the weeks since millions of cancellation notices went out to consumers covered by plans deemed inadequate under government rules.
The final vote was 261-157 as lawmakers clashed over an issue likely to be at the heart of next year's midterm elections. The measure faces an uncertain fate in the Senate, where Democrats seeking re-election in 2014 are leading a move for generally similar legislation.
"For the last six weeks the White House stood idly by ignoring the pleas of millions," said Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and lead sponsor of the legislation.
"Our straightforward, one-page bill says, if you like your current coverage, you should be able to keep it. The president should heed his own advice and work with us, the Congress, as the founders intended, not around the legislative process."
But Democrats said the measure was just another in a long line of attacks on the health care bill from Republicans who have voted repeatedly to repeal it.
"It would take away the core protections of that law. It creates an entire shadow market of substandard health care plans," said Rep. Henry Waxman of California.
The vote came shortly before President Barack Obama welcomed insurance company CEOs to a White House meeting, and one day after he announced a shift toward making good on his oft-repeated promise that anyone liking his pre-Obamacare coverage would be able to keep it.
In brief opening remarks, he did not refer to the House vote, and showed no give in his commitment to the program known by his name. "Because of choice and competition, a whole lot of Americans who have always seen health insurance out of reach are going to be in a position to purchase it," he said.
The events capped a remarkable series of politically inspired maneuvers in recent days. The president and lawmakers in both parties have sought to position themselves as allies of consumers who are receiving cancellation notices — yet have made no move to cooperate on legislation that could require those consumers' coverage to be renewed if they wanted to keep it.
Neither Obama's new policy nor the bill passed in the House would ensure that anyone whose policy is canceled will be able to keep it. Instead, both would permit insurance companies to sell coverage renewals if they wish — subject to approval by state insurance commissioners.
The White House meeting came as the industry and state commissioners began adjusting to the president's one-day-old change in policy.
Under the shift, Obama said insurers should be permitted to continue to sell to existing customers individual coverage plans that would be deemed substandard under the health care law. Without the change, many existing plans would have been banned beginning next year, and the president's announcement was an attempt to quell a public and political furor triggered by millions of cancellation notices.
The House measure went one step further. It would give insurance firms the ability to sell individual plans to new as well as existing customers, even if the coverage falls short of the law's requirements.
Democrats sought to substitute a plan of their own that consisted largely of Obama's new policy, but failed on a party-line vote.
Even so, the combination of the president's announcement and his party's alternative apparently siphoned off a large number of Democratic votes from the GOP measure.

"Beauty is the in the eye of the beholder."
To fans, the Undertaker's undefeated streak at Wrestlemania might be the highest of honor in professional wrestling. Some view that as something sacred, something that should never be touched.
Not everyone feels that way.
Unfortunately for those fans, the one person that has the most control over that streak is also the one person that doesn't put it on a pedestal.
In terms of prestige and honor, the undefeated streak means absolutely nothing to Vince McMahon. He fully understands that the honor is one that he created. He can put an end to it whenever he wants and he can try to recreate it again.
The only value that the undefeated streak has to McMahon is for marketing purposes.
McMahon knows that the undefeated streak means a lot to the WWE universe. He knows that they will pay big money to watch Wrestlemania if he can come up with an opponent that is a legitimate threat to actually beat the Undertaker.
That's the reason why he's willing to throw a ridiculous amount of money at MMA star and former WWE champion Brock Lesnar.
With that in mind, McMahon would gladly put an end to the streak if he felt that he can some money off of it.

Skip to comments.Tom Campbell, et al (DeLay Vanity)
Posted on 01/15/2006 7:42:52 PM PST by maui_hawaii
Since you guys are literally the cream of the crop of political analysis I thought I would ask your opinions about the whole DeLay situation.
For the record I don't live in DeLay's district and I haven't followed it that much at all. This post is for informational purposes only. If nothing else it will be a situational report for those interested in such a high profile race.
Several candidates have all thrown their hats into the ring...Three of DeLay's opponents Campbell, Pat Baig and Mike Fjetland are fellow Republicans. A fourth, Nick Lampson, is a conservative Democrat.
According to news reports:
While DeLays campaign spokeswoman, Shannon Flaherty, has dismissed Fjetland and Baig with disparaging quips, she said DeLay welcomes Campbell to the race and to hearing his ideas.
From what I can gather DeLay takes Campbell seriously, and not to mention they are actually friends somewhat. Based on what I read on the net Campbell has been a long term GOP man etc etc. He's pretty conservative but he's not abrasive like DeLay is.
Having said that, another report says:
"Tom Campbell at least has Republican credentials," Fort Bend County GOP chairman Eric Thode said. "Having said that, it doesnt translate into one iota of support or money. He is 100 percent absolutely unknown in this county."
Here is a link to Campbell's web page. Under "platform" it gives a basis of what he's about, although its brief.
Since this is in the media all the time, here is what I got out of it thus far...
The media/left hate DeLay. At the same time his popularity isn't rampant in the really conservative district as many people believe.
With that said, the constituents will either A) vote for DeLay just to piss off the media/left or B) vote for another conservative candidate.
So, thus far Campbell seems to be viable.
Based on what little I have gathered, if DeLay goes down in the courts, who else is left?
Secondly, Campbell comes across as a 'humble conservative', not the brash and abrasive 'in your face' kind of politician that DeLay comes across as...
Any input is welcome on any and all of the candidates....
DeLay Faces Viable Republican Challenger
HOUSTON -- U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay, who lost his leadership post because of his ties to a disgraced lobbyist and faces felony charges in his home state, now has another worry: an unprecedented four-way primary for the seat he's held comfortably for 22 years.
While two of DeLay's challengers in the March 7 primary aren't considered to have much credibility -- one is making his fourth attempt to unseat DeLay and the other has lived overseas much of her adult life -- lawyer Tom Campbell of Sugar Land holds an impressive Republican resume.
Campbell worked on the presidential campaigns of Bob Dole and the elder George Bush, whose administration appointed him general counsel to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. A former Harris County Republican Party official runs Campbell's campaign.
"I don't believe in the any-means-necessary brand of politics," Campbell said Wednesday at a reception held for him at a Houston law firm. "That leads to cutting corners to win, which leads to ethical lapses."
DeLay, who along with a multi-candidate primary faces a credible Democratic opponent for the first time in his congressional career, said Saturday he would not seek re-election to his House leadership post amid House Republicans' concern about a corruption scandal tied to lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
The lobbyist pleaded guilty last week to felony charges and is cooperating with investigators in a bribery probe focusing on several members of Congress and their aides.
In Texas, DeLay is charged with money laundering in connection with the transfer of $190,000 in corporate contributions through a Texas political action committee founded by DeLay to an arm of the National Republican Committee, which then contributed the similar amounts to GOP legislative candidates in Texas.
Republicans took control of the Texas Legislature after the 2002 elections, and pushed through a congressional redistricting plan favorable to the GOP that DeLay engineered.
DeLay was popular in his 22nd Congressional District, which covers the southwest suburbs of Houston, until his latest legal troubles. A recent CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll showed 53 percent of registered voters want someone other than DeLay to represent them.
Nevertheless, DeLay still enjoys institutional support in Fort Bend County, the Houston suburb that holds most of his district and includes his hometown of Sugar Land. The county Republican Party has adopted a resolution supporting DeLay and the chairman is in DeLay's camp.
"Tom Campbell at least has Republican credentials," Fort Bend County GOP chairman Eric Thode said. "Having said that, it doesn't translate into one iota of support or money. He is 100 percent absolutely unknown in this county."
Campbell's stump remarks gloss over specific issues, focusing instead on his promise to bring "honesty, civility and decency" back to Congress.
Campbell, 50, said after "having a hard time voting for Tom DeLay" in the 2004 election, he looked for someone to challenge DeLay in 2006, but found no GOP career politician willing to take him on. So Campbell, who's never held a political office, decided to run himself, figuring it was an act of Republican loyalty to challenge the party's troubled standard-bearer.
"If we don't clean house in March, we'll lose the House in November," Campbell said. "Sugar Land, Texas, is the epicenter of the national debate on how we conduct politics."
Campbell, a 12-year Sugar Land resident who has put his own money into the race, has less than $100,000 so far after announcing his candidacy in December, said campaign manager Mike Stanley, former general counsel to the Harris County GOP. DeLay had raised more than $1 million by the last reporting deadline in September.
DeLay also faces lawyer Mike Fjetland and retired teacher Pat Baig. The primary winner will face former U.S. Rep. Nick Lampson, a Beaumont Democrat who represented a district next to DeLay's for eight years until DeLay's redistricting plan put him in a new, less Democratic district. Lampson lost in 2004 to longtime Houston judge Ted Poe, a Republican.
While DeLay's campaign spokeswoman, Shannon Flaherty, has dismissed Fjetland and Baig with disparaging quips, she said DeLay welcomes Campbell to the race and to hearing his ideas.
"But he's going to have a tough time with local GOP support," Flaherty said. "He's got more than 30 years of catching up to do."
I can comment on one item: Eric Thode seems unpopular with the Republican establishment in his home county.
Ping to a few guys who know the inner workings!
Thats why I posted this thread to find out who is who.
not guilty and will win.
Its true though.
Some people on FR are on the level and know what they are talking about.
Some are full of crap, but we won't worry about those :o)
I think DeLay is vunerable more because of his movie star politics.
I haven't followed how DeLay voted or whatever...and on many things DeLay is great from what I understand....
IF he gets into too much [more] trouble I see the people there already getting sick of him for that alone.
It seems to me to be more a choice of 'conservative options'...no real threat from a democrat exists....
You can quarrel about whether DeLay has been as conservative as he should have been, or even as he would have liked to be. But it's very unlikely he will be replaced, either in his seat or his leadership post, by someone more conservative and effective.
In any case, I really, really hate to see someone with DeLay's long, positive record shot down by a gang of crooked Democrats. For that reason alone, if I were in his district I would vote for him.
I strongly doubt that DeLay is guilty of the Texas charges, or that he is any guiltier of the DC lobbyist charges than about 90 other people, Republican and Democrat. So, why should he be the only one to get kicked out? Because Soros targeted him?
Well, it seems obvious who Campbell is - - a sleazy opportunist who would dance on DeLay's political grave if it would advance his personal ambition.
Which kind of lends to the theory that people in that area are getting sick of the entrenchment.
Not that they are going to swing left all the sudden, but rather shake some stuff up with another candidate...of equal or more conservative credentials.
Lampson is anything but a "conservative" RAT.
Lampson is a RAT.
Lampson is a LIBERAL.
Lampson will NOT represent the 22nd Congressional District.
No one wants to give in to the left. For that reason alone DeLay has a lot of support.
The left and the media hate DeLay...At the same time most people in his district I would say have equal disdain for the media and left.
So basically by attacking him they are strengthening him so to speak.
If though... and I say IF...something goes awry regarding the charges then what?
Not to mention I don't think its just about 'the charges'...He's been there for 20 something years and sometimes comes across as a movie star for the GOP.
Maybe, as the story goes people in the district are tiring of the entrenched old boy network rather than something specific (such as the charges)...
Here's a quote from one source I found on the net from Campbell...
"If we don't clean house in March, we'll lose the House in November," Campbell said. "Sugar Land, Texas, is the epicenter of the national debate on how we conduct politics."
Sleazy opportunist?
Anyone running for office is a sleazy opportunist too including DeLay by that standard.
The point of the thread is this...
The constituents there seem to tire of the movie star politics...although it does piss off the left rather bad...
However to some people pissing off the left isn't justification enough for a 20 plus year entrenchment that leads to an old boy network 'who runs things'...
"If we don't clean house in March, we'll lose the House in November," Campbell said. "Sugar Land, Texas, is the epicenter of the national debate on how we conduct politics."
Is pissing off the left justification enough to counter the bigger picture?
Also what IF DeLay DOES run into more trouble? Then what?
Keep in mind that the RAT party as well as their mouthpiece Houston Comical have been gunning for DeLay for the better part of 20 years now.
The liberal RATs think that they can influence how we do things here in the 22nd District through their slime ball tactics with Ronnie Earle, the MSM, and Move-On maggots.
Time will tell, but the things that we true conservatives in the 22nd hate more than fire ants and cockroaches, are liberal RATS and the MSM.
I will be supporting Tom Delay in the primaries.
Out of respect for the great state of Texas, I'll refrain from commenting on what I don't know. You could do a lot worse than Delay. His only crime is spending in my book and that's made up for other areas.
One of DeLay's strengths is that he is the poster boy to piss off the media. My feeling is there are a lot of people just like yourself...
If the charges against DeLay don't come to fruition DeLay is in.
If they DO come to be though, then what? What will that say about the district then?
Not saying I believe the charges by any means...no...
But in that situation is DeLay more important than the rest of the Conservative movement?
Of course there are A LOT worse people than DeLay. BY ALL MEANS thats soooo true.
Maybe you can try "You guys are literally the cream of the crop of political analysts"
Delay is the man. His only crime is he's not a fiscal conservative.
In the next few months I'm going to take a trip to Hawaii to learn to surf. I'd like to talk to you about pulling this off at sometime.
There are a lot of great places to see...
FR mail me and we can discuss the best times and places for all things Hawaii (including surfing).
You can find a ton of good information by visiting the website of Lone Star.com.
This is a very conservative online answer to the Houston Comical as well as the MSM. Tons of info about Ronnie Earle and his cohorts and what they're attempting to do to Tom DeLay.
Check it out and then come back. We can discuss this further.
You can bet I'll be in touch.
I can't even comment on that, the fiscal aspect.
Word on the street though is the problem in the district is bigger than DeLay....
Of course everyone wants a conservative...
But is DeLay the ONLY one? Other than just pissing off the media, which I get great joy from as well....
From what I can tell the charges are galvanizing some in that community as something they already felt long ago...that you leave anyone in office for 20 years and and pretty soon their head inflates....so maybe its not DeLay personally, but the people surrounding DeLay as well that add to that perception....
See post #29 though...

Hey, I'd settle for being the cream of Michael Barone's... uh... political wisdom... yeah... that. Why doesn't that read right ?
What else would you expect a Republican challenger to say.
As an ex-ad guy, I know that's the tack I'd recommend any challenger to DeLay to take. What else is there?
DeLay will beat the Texas rap. It's a put-up job by a flim-flam man. The Abramoff scandal, however, goes right inside DeLay's office.
If he's innocent of any wrongdoing, DeLay should fight. But, if he's guilty, I'd hope he would resign.
In any event, if he stands for re-election, he'll likely win.
Of course they are competing...
I don't know the details of the Abramoff situation at all...but thats what I think is one more weight on the load...
See post #29....
DeLay has offered great service. I don't deny it at all.
At the same time though if it were me in that or any other district, if the politician or the people around him/her thinks they run the show then we have a problem.
20 years in office brings big heads, maybe not to one person here or there, but as a whole....
Although I still think there is growing discontent with the way not only DeLay but others around him handle themselves....
Do tell. Please expand....
I live in Delay's district and thus far see no reason to jettison someone who has worked mightily to produce more Republican congressmen in Texas against the previous Dem gerrymander.
As the courts found when it was challenged, redistricting is a state political matter and we earned the right to do it our way by electing more Republicans.
This whole thing has been a political attack on one of the most effective Republican politicians in a century. Campbell may be a nice guy and a good Republican, but he is jumping on the anti-Delay bandwagon for his own personal reasons.
Of course, the Houston Chronicle is against Delay and always has been. They will pull out the stops to defeat him.
No, I am not demeaning anything DeLay did for the party. Not at all. But at the same time he (or his people) could have easily made some elementary and quite stupid mistakes.
As of now, no one knows for sure how it all goes...
Lets just give a hypothetical that something big in the Abramoff problem leads to DeLay's office? Its not out of the picture.
He's not out of the woods just yet and to write it all off as partisan attacks could be a big political mistake. Clinton said the Monica thing 'was a partisan attack' too... when in reality he broke the law.
In other words writing it all off so quickly as 'partisan attacks' might not be wise overall. It could even lead to the GOP losing the House if there is substance to it...
If thats the case would there still be a DeLay or no one approach?
Again, repeating myself... I think a lot of the discontent in the district comes from the old boy network. As with almost all old boy networks the participants get too big for their pants, and in this case many are tiring of it.
It might not be DeLay alone but as a group...
Campbell may be a nice guy and a good Republican, but he is jumping on the anti-Delay bandwagon for his own personal reasons.
I don't know if I personally would write it off as such so quickly...The guy put up a lot of his own money to run....
So far as I can tell he's a lifelong GOPer looking to clean up the GOP...
Not one who is looking to see his friend go to jail....
They aren't trying to merely pick up DeLay's seat... no way in hell thats happening...
They are using the poster boy of the GOP to try and win the whole House back.
Thats what I refer to as DeLay being a galvanizing force....
If there is some real ammo there for them to use the GOP might be shooting itself in the foot if it turns out that they tolerate true blue ethics problems from DeLay.
The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
Thats my point.
He might have won a lot for us, but he can just as easily lose a lot for us too...
Three days before the election they drop a bombshell...kind of like the Bush DWI thing.
If the GOP doesn't at least question DeLay by then it will be too late.
At the very least the GOP should say, for the good of the party,"If DeLay or his people are found to be in violation of ethics we will withdraw support for him..."
Its called covering your @ss, as a party.
That is the first time I have heard that term. Where did you get it? Is that a phrase you and Campbell are trying to get started. Tom Delay has never sought the camera. If anything he has been too behind the scenes with not enough time in front of the camera. The media seek him out to try to further this conspiracy for Soros.
However to some people pissing off the left isn't justification enough for a 20 plus year entrenchment that leads to an old boy network 'who runs things'...
More Campbell talking points? Nobody is angry he has been there that long, that is what gives him his clout. He is not at all as you are presenting him. The left hates him because he is effective in getting the conservative agenda through and because he manged to get the apportionment of Republicans/Democrats correct through redistricting. Prior to that the Democrats, through their own gerrymandering, had held onto a disproportionate number of seats to their true political strength in Texas.
Also what IF DeLay DOES run into more trouble? Then what?
He will because all this is part of the lefts' strategy just as is their strategy for defeating conservative Supreme Court nominees. Do you want to appease them and just throw in the towel.
By now you have probably determined that I greatly suspect your sincerity. Sound like a "seminar poster" to me.
This whole idea comes from what I consider a tongue in cheek comment by DeLay. When the President and the leadership asked all Congressmen to try to find some budget cuts to make to reduce spending, DeLay contacted all his colleagues and asked them if there were any places they could cut. He then announced that the budget must be as tight as it can be with no savings to be had because no one got back to him on that. He was making the point that all were guilty and not willing to give. That wasn't an endorsement of spending on his part, just reporting what the situation was.
I am not in DeLay's district so I can't vote for or against either way. I am not affiliated with anyone's campaign for anything. I am asking questions. Simple as that.
I did run into someone who does have 'connections' but that was the first and only thing I ever heard of it. I never heard of Tom Campbell until earlier today during a conversation with a friend I haven't seen for a while. Because I don't follow it, I thought it curious to read up on it.
As for the quote of 'movie star politics' I wrote it here on FR at whatever time it was time stamped. I wrote it based on every time I turn on the tv the word Republican and Tom DeLay are 2/3 of the time mentioned in the same breath.
Sought out or not, he's become the poster child of Republicans. Looking from a distance thats what I see.
I am not giving talking points for anyone. Period. At the same time I am A)not ready to proclaim anyone 100% innocent or guilty. B)Based on my readings on this DeLay, however great of guy I think he's been, doesn't dominate his district like some people think. My goal in starting this thread is to find out why and to learn about the respective campaigns.
There is no endorsements from me going on here, only acknowlegement that if DeLay or his people did things illegally, (as a group) we need to know whats going on.
As for throwing in the towel, its way early for that. However because of the position that he is in, he certainly doesn't get a free pass.
Other than that if you know something I don't, please feel free to express it.
If Tom DeLay goes to jail, who are you voting for? He might not go to jail. He probably will never go to jail. But what do you do if something winds up blowing up?
The wimpy RNC has already pulled away.
If anything the impression is out there. If DeLay should be in front of the camera why isn't he? I am sure he can get on any talk show he so chose. Free air time, a lot of it...is available....
Now that you mention it, why isn't he on TV more?
Isn't he making a stupid political mistake by not countering all the 'news' about himself?
I am getting a crash course in the DeLay thing, which is what I requested to start with :o)
I say if he is, he should take one for the team and not screw it up for everyone else.
In the mean time, however and whatever great things he's done, the support for him in his district (according to the news and other various sources) is waning.
With 6 weeks or whatever left until the primary, which is the proving ground for the whole election in that district...we're not seeing the other side of the coin. Its taking its toll.
My first thought exactly.
You should consider that you are getting your information from the MSM, and you believe exactly what they want you to believe, that DeLay is losing support. They want the voters in his district to think the same.
As far as what he "should" be doing, I leave that up to him. Part of the plot was to keep him too busy to do his job or to campaign.
You are either in on it or you fell for it. For practical purposes, it is a distiction without a difference.

Nice hotel but rather noisy.Posted Jul 22, 2016
We were at the end of the hall right next to an exit door which slammed shut frequently. Also, the walls were so thin that we could hear our neighbor's conversation as well as their alarm clock and wake up call at 5:30 AM!!

An overnight on way to Bryce National Park. Nothing exceptional, but decent, clean accommodations with comfortable bed at a reasonable price. Nice to have fridge & microwave & breakfast. No restaurants within easy walking distance, as motel is outside Kanab's business district. Right next door to BLM visitor center, for info on hiking activities in area.

Very DisappointingPosted Apr 19, 2016
Pros: It was on the way to my destination.
Cons: A change of staff.
The most disappointing aspect was staff. I discovered that I had left my portable radio in the room. I called that evening to inform them that I had left it and would pick it up on my return journey. I was told the head housekeeper would hold it. Well when I returned it could not be located and no record of it being found and turned in. I know it is my fault it was left however it is extremely disappointing that in a small western town there is no pride. Oh, the room was noisy, the curtains were two different lengths and grout was missing in places in bathroom.

diabetes doesn't go away but with exercise and losing weight you dont necessarily have to take the meds etc for diabetes type II..I don;t know anything about type I
6 Sep 2011
No. Once you have diabetes, you have it forever. It has to do with either there is not enough insulin being produced or no insulin at all being made. It can be very well controlled with diet and exercise to where it almost seems that you are cured but if you begin to eat the wrong food choices again you blood sugars will skyrocket. If you tighten up your diet and reduce your carb intake, you might get to where you dont need metformin anymore unless you get sick or something. It is a worthy goal. Read up all you can about diet and diabetes all you can. The American Diabetic Assoc. is a great resource Google diabetes just stay away from biased sites trying to sell you something!

For the most part, your husband is correct cause its what my doctors have told me all the time. But I feel that a person's mental health has alot to do with diabetes cause it affects your glucose levels. I am not a nurse or dr at all but I am a type 2 diabetic and I take oral meds along with 15 units of lantis insulin at bedtime.

Bomb plot vs Saudi Arabian plane in 'advanced stage'February 21, 2016 10:44 pm
An alleged terrorist plot to hijack or bomb a passenger plane from the Saudi Arabian air fleet has reached an "advanced stage" of implementation, according to a reliable airport source.
The airport source on Saturday cited the threat of terrorist attack that would be carried out somewhere in Southeast Asia after Iran warned of "divine revenge" against Saudi Arabia over Riyadh's recent execution of a religious leader, a prominent cleric.
The source confirmed that the Saudi Arabian Embassy in the Philippines has informed the Department of Foreign Affairs that its government intelligence had received information that "Iranian Revolutionary Guards" are allegedly preparing to mount the attack.
The Manila Times has obtained a copy of that confidential communication written by a retired admiral in behalf of the Foreign Affairs secretary, dated January this year, indicating that the plan has reached the "advanced stage."
The dispatch revealed that the "implementing and planning team is said to consist of 10 persons and six of them are Yemeni nationals tasked to execute the plan, and some of them have already been identified."
The names of the suspects have been withheld although it is believed that they have already left Iran for Southeast Asian countries through Turkey on two separate flights to execute the plan.
According to the source, the names of the six suspects have been forwarded to Philippine immigration.
The source said it is possible that the terrorist plot would be launched in Malaysia, Indonesia or the Philippines.
Early this month, Saudi Arabian Embassy officials were said to have requested officials of the Manila International Airport Authority to allow them to put up their own X-ray machines at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
A separate request was also sent to the Office for Transportation Office.
The request, the airport source said, is extremely urgent.
It is a necessary security measure for intensifying and tightening inspection procedures at Philippine international airports used by passengers traveling on Saudi Arabian planes, the source said.
According to the source, the request is being reviewed by the airport authority.

Iranian government the most terrorist organization, take care
As you notice, Muslims cannot agree on anything so do not expect peace in Mindanao. They will kill each other BBL or no BBL. these terrorist ,most of them are, are not humans, they are dogs, scavengers. They deserve to be eradicated. Imagine Gloria Arroyo pardoned these terrorist , Nur Misuari and company just to secure the Mindanao votes during that presidential election. How stupid can she be. She deserves to go it jail not to the hospital.

C Restaurant – Manjimup Truffle Degustation – 13 Jul 2016
The limited time offering of a 6 course Manjimup truffle degustation menu had me very interested and so I made a booking to enjoy the lowly night time views of Perth in a wonderful ambient setting and excellent service to boot. The night started with an amuse bouche of a delicious, rich, and very creamy ham hock soup with an excellent ham and cheese croquette. The next course served two perfectly cooked and seasoned scallops enjoyed with a soft tortellini encasing a lovely marron filling. The black squid ink cracker was also a very enjoyable element. The third course saw a lovely crumbed jacket, covered in shaved slices of truffle, encasing juicy mushrooms and enjoyed with a very creamy celeriac puree. A wonderful earthy dish. The main course continued on with the earthy theme, drawing upon earthy winter elements to present a very hearty dish based around a sous vide Angus beef tenderloin chunk which just pulled apart. The different mushroom textures allowed mushroom to be enjoyed in a number of ways, enhancing the beef. With all the food served, thankfully a light dessert was presented, a most fabulous macaron filled with a sumptuous milk chocolate ganache and a touch of passionfruit which was amazing. The chocolate soil simulated the crunch of passionfruit seeds, a clever textual play, even though the passionfruit sorbet was seedless, smooth and flavoursome. The final course presented a cheese board enjoyed with quince paste which was a lovely finish to the meal. A very impressive experience from start to finish. I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience and definitely recommend the degustation or even just a meal here from the set menu or al a carte menu.
